battles.

i'm holding on to holding on,

it's all that i've got left.

there's people here who need me strong,

they need me here, i guess.

 

time has been stretching on for me

and my patience is running thin.

i feel i've lost the will to be

happy with just about anything.

 

i'm struggling to keep away

from all the addictions i once had.

i hear them calling every day,

and i want to give in, so bad.

 

it's only knowing i've been here

about a million times before

that keeps my head clean and clear,

knowing i can survive once more.

 

i'm aware i'll make it through this,

but i can't say i'm glad that's true.

i'd like to say it's over, i wish,

but i feel stuck here, supporting you.
